Chocenice: Hotels and Accommodation

From the village square in Chocenice, the yellow hiking trail continues to Chocenická velká skála, where it joins the green trail from Srby to Blovice. The seven-panel educational trail from Chocenice to Velká skála u Bzí begins in the village centre and ends after less than five kilometres.

The educational trail has an elevation difference of approximately 150 metres and two rest areas, including one at Vejsovák Pond. At the northeastern edge of Chlumek grows the protected sessile oak Chocenický drnák, planted sometime between 1720 and 1730.

Chocenice Chateau was originally a late Renaissance fortress, probably converted into a Baroque chateau in the last quarter of the 17th century; later valuable alterations were made in the Neoclassical style. In 1927, Chocenice Chateau was converted into the Skupa holiday home for children from Plzeň.

The Old Chateau is a massive two-storey building with a mansard roof and a half-timbered storey. A preserved historic black kitchen can be found in the Old Chateau.

The Špejchar granary was built in 1723 on a rise above Vejsovský Pond and remains a prominent landmark of Chocenice. The former brewery building at house number 3 is one of the oldest buildings in Chocenice.

The Chapel of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes was built in 1895 in the Pseudo-Romanesque style. The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes stands in the centre of Chocenice, on the road above the stream. A statue of the Immaculate Heart of Mary stands on a pseudo-style altar.

The Antonín Švehla Memorial in Chocenice commemorates a politician who was among the leading representatives of the domestic resistance during the First World War and later led three Czechoslovak governments.

The first surviving written reference attributed to Chocenice is a deed of foundation of the Benedictine monastery in Kladruby from 1115; however, the identification of the locality referred to in it is disputed.
